AssociateXOne of the worst things about a new install is dialing in everything. Sheesh!00:04
Thr0rDo you have any info of this topic unit193?00:04
Unit193I'm not precisely sure why you pinged me on this.00:06
Thr0rYou are Staff member here? not? I asked a question no one else replied to so I tried you - hoping you would know the issue?00:07
Unit193Oh, for the freenode IRC network, not Kubuntu.  Sorry.00:07
Thr0rwell - Freenode / Kubuntu00:08
Thr0rjust let me know if you are not able to help.. I'll move on00:09
Unit193I mean I can't, but that doesn't mean someone won't be active in time that can.00:11
Thr0rok, thanks00:12
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @Thr0r, Screen management with respect to widget placement has in improved on 20.04 where changing resolutions do not scatter the widgets near often as it used to  (using X).00:19
Thr0rOk - To who and what server and channel would it be best to adress this dual screen management issue that does never seem to be resolved in Kubuntu? #KDE? is there a place outside freenode? ..you know unit193?00:26
Unit193In here or #kde would seem logical to me, sure.00:27
Thr0rok thanks00:27

IrcsomeBot<Barika> whever I boot into OS now the screen is zoomed in and I have to hit shift-alt-f12 to get back to normal screen. any time I change settings in compositer it also does the same zooming effect. I have also lost the ability to have opacity settting on terminal window set. I get error - "the background transparency setting will not be used because your destkop does not appear to support transparent windows"16:38
IrcsomeBot<Barika> anybody have any ideas what would be causing this..17:01
=== korner is now known as korner__
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> @Barika, Which version of Kubuntu and do you have backports installed?17:17
zimmedon@Barika the zooming is likely a compositor effect, so I would check under Desktop Effects. Also that hotkey (Shift+Alt+F12) is used to toggle the compositor on/off. By turning off the compositor, I think you just lose the ability to have transparency without the old school fallback in the days before compiz and all that.17:19
zimmedonactually yeah, Zoom appears to be enabled by default with [Meta =] and [Meta -] as the hotkeys to control zoom.17:20
zimmedonso you could either disable zoom or try hitting [Meta -] a few times until it's back to normal. Meta key also being known as the super key (or Windows key).17:22
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> Older versions of plasma will crash and while the desktop still works the compositor will not run until plasma is restarted.  On older plasma, run killall plasmashell for a terminal.  Then run "plasmashell &"  to restart.17:24
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> New plasma versions  crash less often, but can be restarted with "plasmashell —replace &"17:24
IrcsomeBot<Barika> Ok I turned off zoom. Wondering now how to get blur effect working.17:30
IrcsomeBot<Barika> I will reboot see if this helps.17:30
IrcsomeBot<Barika> removing zoom worked and fixed blur even17:33
IrcsomeBot<DarinMiller> When plasma partial crashes, sometime compositing is set to xrender (System settings -> Display and Monitor -> Compositor -> Rendering backend.  Manually restarting plasma and setting Rendering backend to OpenGL  (sometime restarting plasma again) will fix the issue.17:39
sigNeonany idea why k Driver Manager only shows drivers for my iwlwifi and nothing for my gpu?17:56

mparilloFor even newer, https://kubuntu.org/news/testing-for-the-beta-help-needed/22:16
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> Is there a difference between shutting down my pc via "Shutdown now" or via kubuntu desktop?23:10
=== leaftype2 is now known as leaftype
mparilloFor a test, you can try to create a document (say in kate) and try both approaches. I know using the GUI shutdown it will tell you kate has an unsaved document in its buffer. I am not so sure about the terminal command. P.S. I usually do a systemctl poweroff instead, but generally only when the GUI is unresponsive.23:22
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> That's interesting.23:43
IrcsomeBot<Franzpow> mparillo: does using the terminal way causes data loss?23:44
=== hggdh-msft is now known as hggdh
DragnslcrYou might lose unsaved data, but using the shutdown command will definitely write saved data to disk if necessary23:56
DragnslcrSo it isn't like just pulling out the power cable23:57
